Head to Manchester and experience the bungee catapult - this incredibly thrilling experience puts a new slant on the traditional bungee jump and is a must for any adrenaline junkie. Rather than jumping towards earth from a great height, the bungee cord is attached from the ground, launching you towards the sky (at heights of over 100 feet) with incredible pace. Begin by being weighed and fitted with a harness before stepping onto the launch pad to get ready for take-off. Following some final safety checks, the jumpmaster pulls the rip cord to deliver a wild ride you're unlikely to forget!
